Ivan B - Don’t Look Down lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m scared I’m wasting my time Scared I’m losing control of my life I’m scared of commitment of calling anything mine I would be lying if I told you, “I’m fine” Serving these tables to put some food in my stomach I’m tired of seeing my mom to say “Don’t worry, it’s coming” My heart is racing, I’m running to anything more than nothing Drowning in debt and I’m trying to pull us above it Tell me everything will be okay Tell me why does everybody got to fade away Am I crossing your mind? ‘Cause you been all up in mine But if I saw you, I don’t know what I would say Instead of being together, I need to get it together Instead of writing these letters, I want to live to remember Am I better from the past? Yeah, I wonder what I’ll know Haunted by a dream is when you really let it go I guess things happen for a reason But I’mma never leave anything at chance At first glance I’m looking for God’s hands The Devil’s looking at me like, “Homie, come dance” My grandma’s getting sicker, I’m never there when I can be See, my brother feeling lost, I guess it runs in the family People telling me this music should be a plan B How could you judge me if you don’t understand me? No breaks, one-twenty going in Destiny’s calling, I’m like, “Baby, come on in” Right now it feels like do-or-die Everyday it’s, “Who am I?” You call it nine-to-five Man, I call it suicide I see what they can’t see, this is all that I can be Rather be homeless and broke than be labeled as happy They don’t understand me, ’cause no one can stand me It’s always the outsiders who end up outstanding [Verse 2] I lost a hundred dollars on a bet It’s not a lot of money, but it said a lot about me In the moment, guess I didn’t understand it When nothing is certain, don’t ever take it for granted Pride is a poison that infested our planet Greed is okay, well that’s the way that they brand it Our view of everything is such a mess Having less than we deserve is our perception of happiness What am I supposed to do? They say, “Follow the steps, stick to the guidelines” If I listen to that, I’m just a kid on the side line What’s in your eyes? I don’t care ’bout your eyeline Never cared about all of that Money got people snapping for their quarter back If I get it, I’mma give it back I feel like happiness is something everybody should have [Verse 3] But we are who we are I’ve been lost in the dark, while I’ve been shooting for stars Looking for love, like is it really that hard? Or just have someone who’s there when it’s all falling apart But every scar only makes your heart stronger Hold on, just fight a little longer I ponder these lines with my [?] voice every night That’s when you feel the fatigue and all your hunger That’s been k**ing me, keep going with what they’re telling me More aggressed than memories Sometimes you got to let it be The past ain’t ahead of me, I got to give my best How do I make change if I don’t give you my two cents? I look around, I see the dying of youth Now you’re picking up a bottle, let me pour you the truth I used to be like all of you, like you got nothing to lose Nobody want a commitment when everybody’s been used Step in my conscious, my heart is the pallet The past is behind you, but lately I’ve been behind it I’m finding I’ve been placed in happiness and people who leave And they love it when you’re broken, hate you when you achieve It’s like I can never be me, the world is just a routine Telling you how to live and the certain value it brings Like rings, summer flings, things ain’t what they seem So, don’t you ever buy the happiness they sell on the screen ‘Cause happiness ain’t a store bought can And love isn’t found in just a one-night dance I’m looking at the sky like, “Give me one more chance” I’m tired of sitting in my room like I know I can Nothing’s done until you do it, just look at what I’m pursuing To die like what you’re doing, my girl is cause of my music It was lose her or lose it, my hearts in the music If I didn’t, I’d be dead, so I went and I choose it Trying to figure it out, and this ain’t even about us I’m trying to be something more, so that my kids can be proud of I’m trying to show everybody there’s not much worth in these dollars I hear making a difference, don’t you give up Every line that I’m writing is just for you to get up Love is barely an offer Yeah, we don’t give it enough Man, what’s the point of the top is nobody wants to look up? So, look up, look up Don’t look down Look up, look up Don’t look down Don’t look down
